Do kangaroos and Koalas have long nails?
not necessarily, but both do have very sharp claws. Kangaroos have long nails on their forepaws and hind feet. Kangaroos will use the long, sharp nails on their hind feet as defence. The koala's nails are shorter, but curved, strong and very sharp. these claws can inflict some serious wounds on attacking animals, whilst they are also sharp enough to enable a koala to climb the smooth trunk of a very tall gum tree in a matter of seconds.

Do red kangaroos use camouflage?
Kangaroos rely on their speed and endurance to escape from predators. They are capable of maintaining a steady bounding pace for long periods of time because the physical action of jumping literally refills their lungs each time, making them a highly energy-efficient animal. When threatened by other mammals, kangaroos have been known to "box" using their front claws, but they can also balance on their heavy tails and deliver a strong kick with their powerful hind legs, which are equipped with sharp claws.

What adaptations help kangaroos escape their enemies?
Kangaroos rely on their speed and endurance to escape from predators. They are capable of maintaining a steady bounding pace for long periods of time. Kangaroos are able to travel long distances at a high speed, expending very little energy. They are very energy-efficient, and this is linked directly to the physical action of bringing their hind legs up with each hop. Every hop literally refills the lungs. Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. They have strong back legs and elongated hind feet for bounding. When threatened by other mammals, kangaroos have been known to "box" using their front claws, but they can also balance on their heavy tails and deliver a strong kick with their powerful hind legs, which are equipped with sharp claws.
Are kangaroos still around?
Yes. There are millions of kangaroos in their native country of Australia, especially Grey Kangaroos and Red Kangaroos. Factor in all the species of wallabies, tree kangaroos, potoroos, quokkas, rat-kangaroos and wallaroos, and there is no question about whether or not kangaroos are still around.
